Reviewer: Christy

I received a review copy

Summary:

Career minded, Natalie Spencer, had never been in love. She could never understand what all the fuss was about. But when she met Jackson Humphries during Fresher’s Week at university, that all changed.
Utterly infatuated, Natalie quickly discovers the meaning of love and, before she knows it, she’s heading up the aisle – for the first time, that is.
This is a tale about four wedding dresses, a runaway groom and a girl who got so carried away, she couldn’t see true love staring her right in the face.

Review:

Natalie fell head over infatuation with Jackson as soon as she laid eyes on him during her freshman year of college. While admiring him from afar, she found herself chatting with Gabriel – an older university student who quickly would become her best friend. When Jackson finally notices Natalie sitting alone in the cafeteria, she finds out that he, too, has been admiring her. Their relationship blossoms, he proposes, and despite his mother’s opinion, Jackson and Natalie are planning a wedding.

But then…things change. Being left at the alter, Natalie vows to avoid another relationship for a while, and she chooses to focus on her photography career. As she grows and matures, the only constant thing in her life from her university days is Gabriel. Their friendship is put on hold as Gabe travels the world with his on-again, off-again girlfriend. Natalie is left to rebuild her life after Jackson – and the wedding that didn’t happen.

Down the street from her photography studio, Liam owns a vintage record shop. A chance meeting between them changes her mind about relationships and she trusts her instincts and agrees to go out with him. As their relationship grows, Natalie finds herself falling in love with a man who is perfect – buy may not be perfect for her. For the second time, a wedding is planned and another last minute surprise at the alter leaves Natalie unmarried yet again.

Natalie wants to be part of a couple so bad that she can’t see love that’s been right in front of her since her freshers day at university. But it may be too late for her and the one man who’s been there for her the whole time. Twice, Gabe has tried to blow caution to Natalie and her quick decisions to get married. When he finds that she’s engaged (twice!), he decided he can’t wait on her forever and moves forward with his own relationships.

Will love bring them back together in the end, or does Natalie’s rush for love leave no room for true love?

This was a great read by Rosa Temple. Fast paced and full of surprises, Natalie’s Getting Married was a true enjoyment to read!
